<span>The Leeward side of a mountain range is in fact in a rain shadow. A rain shadow is an area of elevation where little to no rain falls, due to precipitation being forced out of passing clouds on the windward side of the mountain. Precipitation condenses as clouds rise over the mountain, and in general it precipitates as it crests over the mountain, leaving no moisture for the leeward side. An example of this is the American west, just west of the Rockies, where little to no rain falls.</span>

The given statement is True.

The rain shadow can be defined as a dry area which is found on the leeward side of the mountain area. The presence of these mountains acts as blockage in the passage of rain causing weather and forms a shadow of dryness on the other side of the mountain. The land on leeward side of a mountain range is drier on the lee and wetter on the prevailing windward.
